This may sound pretty stupid but I found the link somewhere and since this is Gentoo's Gamer Forum I thought this might be interesting for several people. http://icculus.org/~chunky/ut/unreal/_________________cya

Anyone having any problems playing Unreal? I installed it per the instructions and whenever I try to launch it via the console command "unreal", the miniature splash screen pops up and then dies with the following error:

UT runs fine on my system (Athlon XP 1800+ on an Abit KG7 MB using an NVidia GeForce4 Ti4400 and the latest NVidia drivers).

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Well, Check out whether you can run glxgears successfully or not. Did you change the Driver entry in XF86Config from "nv" to "nvidia"? That must be done to load the real nvidia driver. the "nv" driver is a fake to do everything but OpenGL. You may also verify by watching at your screen whil your X is initializing. Do you see a fullscreen splashscreen of NVidia? No? Than you didn't change the entry.
